Travel Literature
Travel writing which is valued as literature in its own right may be referred to as travel literature. Travel literature typically records the experiences of an author touring a place for the pleasure of travel. An individual work is sometimes called a travelogue or itinerary, but it is generally not written in journal format, with specific dates recorded, as in a travel journal.

Famous quotes containing the words travel and/or literature:
“I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read in the train.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“The literature of the poor, the feelings of the child, the philosophy of the street, the meaning of household life, are the topics of the time. It is a great stride. It is a sign,—is it not? of new vigor, when the extremities are made active, when currents of warm life run into the hands and the feet.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
